Bologna mayor's guards warned before march
Italian authorities have imposed a security watch on Bologna's mayor, Matteo Lepore, after he received online threats from right-wing extremists due to organizing a long protest last week demanding the truth about the death of Moroccan citizen Abdel Rihim Fekir. Although the protest was peaceful, events of unrest occurred in the city, resulting in 64 police officers injured and significant material damage. The ruling parties accused the mayor of questioning the police's actions, which he denied. Around 2,000 people participated in a march to commemorate Abdel Rihim Fekir's death. The city remains tense, with preparations underway for a new march on August 2nd, coinciding with the anniversary of the 1980 train station bombing that left 85 dead. Meanwhile, the results of the medical autopsy are expected to be delayed due to ongoing investigations into the cause of the young man's death, especially following reports of his being subjected to violent arrest and being suffocated.
